# Line 1644 | Line 1644 | The only caveat is that -n setting > 1 requires -PP ra
1644  
1645   Added -c option to rtcontrib to facilitate cumulative calculations.
1646  
1647 Added ability to incorporate LBNL Window 6 bidirectional scattering
1648 distribution function (BSDF) data in mkillum.
1649
1647   ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1648   Fixed long-standing bug in source.cal, which caused it to produce
1649   reversed anisotropic photometric distributions due to the
# Line 1660 | Line 1657 | Zack Rogers for finding this error.
1657   Added rsensor program to compute sensor signal for daylighting controls.
1658   Funding for this component was provided by the Architectural Energy
1659   Corporation in Boulder, CO, and directed by Zack Rogers.
1660 +
1661 + Added "planisphere" (stereographic) fisheye view type for traditional
1662 + daylighting analysis.  Feature requested & explained by Axel Jacobs.
1663 +
1664 + Modified -c option to rtcontrib so it can take a number of input
1665 + rays to average over, rather than only produce a single accumulated
1666 + record (which can now be done with -c 0).
1667 +
1668 + =====================
1669 + Version 4.0
1670 +
1671 + Added -n option to rvu to provide parallel rendering.
1672 +
1673 + ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ********
1674 + Changed ".pic" extension to ".hdr" in all sources and documentation
1675 + to improve interoperability with other software, since this has become
1676 + the de facto extension for Radiance RGBE and XYZE pictures.  Since file
1677 + extensions were never more than a convention in Radiance, this does not
1678 + affect operation, but may require the update of scripts, etc. written
1679 + by others that assume the ".pic" suffix for Radiance output.
1680 +
1681 + Added -N option to objview to support multiprocessing.
1682 +
1683 + Improved sampling of circular sources (source, sphere, ring types) with
1684 + quite a bit of help from David Geisler-Moroder.
1685 +
1686 + Added "rpict" and "rvu" variables to rad, and made these as well as
1687 + the "oconv", "mkillum" and "pfilt" variables accept an alternate
1688 + command path in each case.  Change suggested by Lars Grobe based
1689 + on similar Radzilla (radz) facility by Carsten Bauer.
1690 +
1691 + Fixed rad -v N specification to use actual view name if one.
1692 +
1693 + Fixed error in mkillum calculation where it neglected indirect
1694 + source contributions from BTDF illum's.
